This is Rivet is a collage of some of the best work produced at Rivet over the last year. Rivet Radio is a startup devoted to reinventing radio news for a digital world. Late in 2013, Rivet launched from a small, makeshift radio space in the shadow of Chicago’s tallest building, Willis Tower. Rivet is a team of fresh talent and experienced veterans from the broadcast, online and print worlds — teaching and learning from one another to create a new approach to audio journalism. In 2014, this dedicated group undertook its mission in earnest: To create discrete news stories and newscasts around the clock — to be played through Rivet’s distribution network, including its smartphone apps; in-vehicle audio entertainment centers and, through Rivet’s partnership with InterCall (the world’s largest conference and collaborations service provider), during “dwell time” for business people awaiting the start of conference calls. Rivet was honored with the Chicago Headline Club’s 2013 Lisagor Award for Best Online Startup.
